Brain Athlete: How to remember names and faces the easy way
I never forget a face, I just can’t recall the name!

I’m not good at remembering names!
Two seconds after the handshake breaks I can’t remember the name!
How many times have you said these things?
I bet lots. I wouldn’t be surprised if you met someone today and
right now if you thought about it you couldn’t recall their name.
The waiter? The bank teller? The student? The teacher? Your friend’s
neighbor?
Can’t recall can you?
It’s ok.
But there is an answer. There is a solution. And it is an important
solution. It is important to remember names and faces.
Why?
Why is it important to remember names and faces?
Dale Carnegie wrote in his best selling book, ‘How to Win Friends
and Influence People’ that :
1. Everyone’s favorite subject is themselves
2. The sweetest sound to a person’s ear is the sound of their own
name

Ron White
When you remember a name you aren’t just remembering a word.

You are remembering what Dale Carnegie described as their favorite
subject and sweetest sound to their ear.
Think about this. You sell insurance and you are at your friend Steve’s
house. It is a party and your friend introduces you to his friend Bri-
an. Six weeks later you see Brian at a baseball game.
Scenario #1
You see Brian at the game and you don’t walk up to him and say
hello because you can’t recall the name. (Face it. You do this all the
time) The odds of him purchasing insurance from you one day?
Scenario #2
You see Brian at the game and you walk up to him and say, ‘Hey,
I met you at Steve’s house. I remember your face but sorry I can’t
recall your name. What was it again?’ Not bad but did it right away
say, ‘I’m your friend!’ Not really.
Scenario #3
You see Brian at the game and you walk up to him and say, ‘Hey, Bri-
an! It’s great to see you again. We met at Steve’s house. By the way,
how is your son Matt doing and your wife Katy?’ BOOM!! Does
that say, ‘Hey, I care and I’m your friend?’ Yes it does!
It is powerful to remember names and faces. It creates an instant
connection.
Zig Ziglar used to say, ‘People don’t care how much you know until
they first know how much you care.’
When you recall a name you are showing them that you care (even
more powerful than just saying it). It is a measure of respect when
you recall a name. The person thinks, ‘Wow, I must be special they
remembered my name.’
2
If you are in the insurance business the odds of them purchasing

from you if scenario #3 took place as opposed to scenario #1 or #2 I
think you would agree are a lot higher.
But it’s not just about building your business. It is about showing
people that you care and building relationships.
The bad news:

It is killing your business and income that you aren’t able to build
relationships and remember names.
The good news:

It is easier than you think to remember names and faces. My stu-
dents have learned to walk into a room and after 15 minutes can
recall 20-30 names. No joke.
I’m a huge introvert but I can still do this. As a matter of fact, it gives
me confidence when I met people because I have a goal or purpose
in the meeting (to remember their name). So it has helped me on
that level as well.
There is no magic, it doesn’t require a high IQ and works no matter
how terrible you think your memory is. All it requires is a little work.
When I was on the show Stan Lee’s Superhumans on the History
Channel I memorized the names of runners in a race and called out
their names as they crossed a finish line. When I was on the Na-
tional Geographic show Brain Games I memorized the names of a
group as they entered a theatre and recalled the names as they exited.
I look forward to teaching you these techniques that literally people
all over the world are using to remember names and build relation-
ships.

The 5 Steps to Remember 2

Any Name
What you are going to learn in this book is a system to remember

names. A simple 5 step process that will enable you to recall any
name or even a room full of names.
It is not route memorization or another way of saying that is it is not
just saying the name 5 times over and over in the conversation. This
sounds corny and everyone knows what you are doing. Stop it.
This system also is not magic. It is not something that you should
just try. In other words, don’t say to yourself, ‘I think I will try that.’
No. Don’t try this. That sounds like you are planning to fail. Instead,
approach this as a system you are going to learn and implement. I
hope you see the difference in mindset there.
I learned this system when I was 18 years old and no one saw any-
thing spectacular in regards to my memory before I learned this sys-
tem. However, after I learned it I have gone on to memorize 128
names in 15 minutes at the USA Memory Championship, mem-
orize 301 names at a conference in Canada and 100 plus names at
meetings more times than I can count.
With that said, it is more important that my students have been able
to duplicate these same results.
In 1991 I was taught a process to remember names and I have sim-
plified it and created 5 steps. Those 5 steps are:

1. Focus

5. Review
Step #1 Focus
Why do you think you don’t remember names right now? Think
about it. How many times have you shaken someone’s hand and
then 2 seconds later you don’t know their name? It happens all the
time to most people, but ask yourself this. Did you really remember
the name and then forget it in 2 seconds? No. That’s impossible.
Instead, what occurred is that you never really heard the name in
the first place. In other words, you were listening. You weren’t paying
attention. YOU WEREN’T FOCUSED!!
The first key to remember names it o FOCUS.
What this means is that the average person when they are walking
up to that new person they are thinking:
‘Does this person know me?
Have I seen them before?
Are the going to buy anything from me?
Do they like me?
Do I like them?
Do I still have that stain on my shirt from lunch?
Are they a customer of mine?
I need to send that email!
Will I like this person?’
All these things (or similar things) are running through your mind
so fast as you meet this new person. However, the most important
6
question is nowhere near your brain and that is why you don’t re-
member their name.
From now on, replace all these questions that don’t serve you with
one question and ask it over and over as you walk towards someone
you are about to meet. Train your brain when it sees a new person to
ask yourself:
‘What is their name?
What is their name?
What is their name?
What is their name?
What is their name?’
Ask this question over and over as you walk towards that new person.
This will accomplish one very important goal and that is to FOCUS
your brain.
Now, obviously you don’t say this question out loud in an audible
voice :)
Once your brain is focused you are then able to hear the name and
eventually remember it.
A few other things can improve your ability to focus as well.
Good nutrition and exercise will improve your memory and ability
to focus (even if just a little). Foods that have been known to help
your brain and ability to focus are:
1. Spinach
2. Blueberries
3. Omega 3
4. Plenty of water
5. Pumpkin seeds
6. Apples
Exercise is also one of the best things that you can do for your brain
and memory. It clears the cobwebs off the gears of your mind.
7
Ron White
There are things that are bad for your brain and ability to focus as
well and those include:
1. Lack of sleep
2. Excessive alcohol
3. Excessive sugar
4. Excessive salt
5. Artificial sweeteners
6. Junk food
If it’s bad for your body is it going to be bad for one of the most
important part of your bodies and that is your brain!
Step #2 File
The second key to remembering names is to have a file. In other
words a place to store the data.
Think about your computer right now. You have a documents folder,
picture folder, work folder, personal folder, movies folder and so on.
But what is you didn’t. What if every singe file on your computer
was not in a folder but instead it was in a cluttered mess on your desk
top. You would be looking at a screen with thousands of icons on
your desktop and it would take you hours to find a single file!
You would never store data on your computer this way, yet we expect
the human computer to remember information when it is stored on
the desktop of our brains.
Instead let’s place the name in a file to retrieve it later easily.
But what is a file for a name? Well, it’s not going to be an actual
folder but instead a unique feature on their face.
For example if you meet a person with a large nose, well…there nose
becomes their file for you.
A person with a beard, their beard would be your file.
Unibrow? That becomes your file.
8
Pretty blue eyes? That becomes your file.

Now understand this, when I say file I simply mean a brain trigger to
help you remember the person and their name. You can practice this
any time even if you aren’t trying to remember the names.
The next time you are at a restaurant look around and ask yourself,
‘What stands out on his face? What stands out on her face?’
Eventually you will start finding patterns in the things you look for:
• Facial hair
• Thick eyebrows
• Thin eyebrows
• Pretty eyes
• Thick lips
• Thin lips
• Scars
• Moles, freckles
• Wrinkles
• Large nose
• Small nose
• Dimples in chin
• Large chin
• Big ears
• Cheek bones
• Sideburns
• Bald
• Large forehead
• Curly hair
• Thick hair
• Thin hair
• Straight teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Fat cheeks
• Dimples
• Large nostrils
• Small nostrils
9
Ron White
• Glasses (if they wear them most of the time, i.e. not reading
glasses)
• Forehead wrinkles
• Double chin
The list goes on and on because faces are unique.
You are not only observing one feature. You observe the entire face
but that feature is your file or starting point to recall the name.
What do you do now when you see someone and you know you
should know their name but you can’t recall it? You will ask yourself,
‘Oh shoot! What’s their name? What’s their name?’
This is one of the worst things you could do because it creates stress
and stress is the worst enemy for your brain to recall the name. When
I am at a conference and trying to meet and recall 100 names in an
audience as I am repeating the names from stage if I don’t know
a name I won’t stop the demo. Instead, I will skip that person and
keep moving. This allows my brain to stay relaxed and then when I
am done with the demo I go back to the ones who are standing.
If I stopped when I didn’t know a name it might stress out my brain
and then I would forget the ones that I knew.
From now on instead of trying to recall the name of a person that
you have met before, instead you will ask yourself, ‘What stands out
to me on their face?’
In other words : What was their FILE?
Let’s take a few faces as examples. What stands out to you on these
faces?
10
Face #1
You could use many

things here. Her
eyebrows, nose, lips,
thin eyebrows or lines
coming down from her
nose.
Face #2
I’d probably
zoom in on
her nose as
her file.
11
Ron White
Face #3
The bright red lips stand out but that may be simply because of the
lipstick. So I would
stay away from that.
What if you see her
in 3 days and she has
no lipstick? For that
reason I would zoom
in on her cheeks.
Face #4
Her eyebrows seem to go up
in an arch so that would be
her file for me
12
Face #5
Smile is great but she may not be
smiling next time you see her. So
select more permanent and non
mood influenced files. I would go
with the eyes for sure.
Face #6
If the glasses are worn by her
all day (ie not just reading
glasses then they are a good
file. If not I would go with
the lines that come down
from her nose. Some call
these smile lines
13
Ron White
Face #7
That double chin
is his file
Face #8
If you select anything but
his beard I’d be interested
in hearing what it is.
14
Face #9
Honestly I would use hair color
here because it doesn’t look like his
natural color and that stands out.
You might also use white teeth but
there is a danger in that if he isn’t
smiling like this when you see him
again
Face #10
Hey amigo!
I am going to use your bald
head (which I will have
one day too…)
15
Ron White
So I hope you get the idea here what facial files are. The goal is to ob-
serve the face and select a distinguishing feature that you will return
to later to remember the name.
Practice this overtime you see a face in person, on the tv, in print
or wherever. You will get better and better at this. It is a key step in
observing the face.
Step #3 Image
Whatever you want to remember it needs to be a picture.
Your mind thinks in pictures. Don’t believe me? When you dream
are you seeing pictures or are you reading words?
You are seeing pictures.
How many times have you said, ‘I am so good with faces. I never
forget a face. I just can’t think of your name?’ - Big deal by the way…
my DOG remembers your face :) ha
The REASON you remember a face and not a name is you SAW the
face. You never SAW the name.
You mind thinks in pictures. Period.
Try this.
I want to introduce you to my friends: Lisa, Al, Steve, Brian and
Tammy.
Now
We are going to play a game here
It will be fun.
And interesting.
And…
Important.
16
Now…
Do NOT
Do NOT
Do NOT
Do NOT cheat.
But without reading their names again, Can you tell me who they
were? Their names I just gave you?
Mabye but not easily.
Why? They weren’t pictures they were just words.
Imagine this scenario…
You are looking at the Mona Lisa and an owl flies in the room. You
put it on the stove to cook the owl. The owl’s brain pops out and you
put the brain in your tummy.
So try this.
We are going to play a game here.
It will be fun.
And interesting.
I want you to do something.
Tell me the story I just told you. What was the story?
(pause here to remember the story)
I bet you were able to remember this story easier than remembering
the names Lisa, Al, Steve, Brian and Tammy. Why?
Because the story is a picture and names are not. By the way. These
pictures are my pictures for the names I just gave you.
Lisa = Mona Lisa
17
Ron White
Al = owl
Steve = stove
Brian = brain
Tammy = tummy
These are the kinds of pictures you will need to remember names.
How do you turn a name into a picture? Here are my rules.
10 Commandments of Turning Names into

Pictures
1. Don’t use people to remember other people. For example, if
the name is Steve don’t say, ‘Oh that’s easy my cousin is named
Steve.’ Well the next time you see him you might get confused.
Was it your cousin Steve or your cousin Brian?
2. I’m going to break rule #1 right now. If the name is Elvis, Ma-
donna or Adolf. Yes…I will use other people. But those are the
exception.
3. Think of a concrete noun that is clear and simple. Steve = stove,
Brian = brain, Matt = door mat
4. Break the name down by syllable. Christopher = Chris/to/fer =
Chris/toe/fur = Cross with a toe and fur (I simplify it often to
just a cross with fur)
5. Different variations of a name MUST have different pictures.
For example:
Al = owl
Albert = burnt owl
Chris = cross
Christopher = cross with fur
Judy = chew tea
Judith = chew this
Christine = christening (baby baptism)
Christy = cross with tea
18
Kristin = kiss a ton

6. Don’t over think it. Go with the first thing that pops in to your
mind. It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else but you. For
example the name Jessica I use a dresser (like furniture). That
probably doesn’t make sense to you but it doesn’t have to
7. Use the same picture EVERY time. For example, if you deter-
mine that you picture for Paul is a basketball then use that for
EVERY Paul. Every Paul for the rest of your life will be a bas-
ketball. This is a very important step. If you start switching the
pictures for names up this will be too confusing and too much
work.
8. Every time you meet a person from now on if you don’t have a
picture for their name ask yourself, ‘What would a picture for
this name be?’
9. If in a conversation you find yourself not listening to the per-
son but instead trying to think of a picture for their name then
STOP turning their name into a picture and focus on the person
and conversation and return to the process after you leave that
person.
10. You don’t need different pictures for different spellings (ie Jeffrey
and Jeffery) unless you feel writing this name is important. If so,
create rules for yourself. Jeffrey = chef reading (reading to remind
you it ends in RE and not ER). Jeffery = chef in the ER (ER to
remind you it ends in ER and not RE)
Once you have a picture for the name you will visualize or imagine
this picture on the face on the unique or distinctive facial feature.
So if the outstanding facial feature is the nose and the name is Steve
you imagine that Stove on the nose.
Some examples of my pictures for names would be:
Steve = stove
Brian = brain
Karen = carrot
19
Ron White
Frank = frankfurter
Dave = cave
David = divot
Paul = basketball
Wayne = rain
Vince = fence
Michelle = missile
Wendy = wind
Monica = harmonica
Lisa = Mona Lisa
Step #4 Action
Your mind remember action and emotion.
Think about it.
Where were you on September 11th? If you are old enough to re-
member you recall vividly.
I was only 13 when the Space Shuttle exploded in 1986 but I re-
member telling my dad and his reaction to what I told him I was
watching on television. I didn’t understand the magnitude of what I
was watching and probably wouldn’t haven’t remembered that day if
it was not for his reaction.
Have you ever been in a car accident? If so:
• Who was driving?
• What area of town did it occur?
• Day or night?
• Who was in the car?
• Did your car wreck into another car or did they crash into
you?
• How many years ago was this?
I bet if it was 20 years ago you still recall all the details.
I also bet that you can’t tell me everywhere you drove last week as
quickly and easily. Why?
20
Action and emotion.

These things will cement something into your memory long term.
So in regards to remembering names and faces this means if the
name is Steve and you see a stove. You don’t just see a stove but it
needs to be cooking something. Cooking it so hot the person turns
red or even catches on fire. You have to magnify the action and emo-
tion in order to recall the name.
If you don’t, then you won’t.
Passive pictures don’t work.
If the name is Lisa and you imagine the Mona Lisa in her eyes that
may or may not work because it is kind of passive. But if you imag-
ine DaVinci himself is painting a picture in her eyes and you see the
brush, etc then you will recall this more likely.
Action and emotion with vivid pictures are the key to long term
memory.
Step #5 Review
In order to put something into long term memory you must review.
If you visualize a stove coming out of Steve’s ears or a brain oozing
out of Brian’s eyes that’s great. But if you don’t review you won’t re-
call Steve or Brian’s names two weeks later.
The secret to long term memory is creating vivid ACTION and
EMOTION but it is also reviewing these images.
This is what I would suggest:
• When you have first met someone and are leaving ask your-
self, ‘What was their file? What was their name? What is the
picture for this name?’ and see the image with tons of action
and emotion on their feature. This is how you review.
• At the end of the day repeat this process by asking, ‘Who did
I meet today?’
21
Ron White
• When getting ready in the morning, driving to work, taking

a shower or standing in lines use this time to review who you
met the day before, week before, month before
• When you see a restaurant, hotel, house, bar or room where
you met someone before ask yourself,’Who did I meet at that
restaurant (or other location)?’ Use locations where you have
met people as brain triggers to review the people you have
met there.
• You may want to keep a name journal where you record
names when you meet people. You might write things such
as:
• Steve, big ears, about 35 years old, tall
• Lisa, pretty eyes, about 27 years old, blonde
• Karen, small nose, about 40 yrs old, glasses
• In your name journal you will write down their distinguish-
ing feature along with their name and other physical facts.
Develop the habit of looking through this journal once a
week and visualizing the faces

Putting the 5 Steps 3

Together
Let’s run through the steps very quickly.

1. Focus
2. File
3. Image
4. Action
5. Review
Using the 5 steps, you walk into a meeting and you are walking to-
wards this woman.
23
Ron White
1. As you walk towards her you ask yourself the question,’What’s

her name? What’s her name?’ This focuses your memory to hear
her name.
2. You observe her face and use the facial feature that jumps out at
you right away. Let’s use her eyebrows here (but you could cer-
tainly select anything that stands out for you)
3. Her name is Karen. The image for Karen is carrots. So imagine
her eyebrows are made out of carrots.
4. Tie action and emotion to this. Imagine her eyebrows are crunchy
carrots and you are eating the eyebrows. Taste the carrots if you
can imagine that.
5. Review
This is how you put the 5 steps together.
So let’s create a memory test.
I’m going to give you 30 pictures and I want you to take 15 min-
utes (for fun time yourself and see if you can do it faster). Then go
through the names and faces and memorize the names. I will give
you the name and my suggested picture for the name as well as my
suggested file for the face. With that said, this is all about creating
what works for YOU! So feel free to use something different that
works best for you.

24

see how many you can recall. Remember the more action and emo-
tion the better.
Make these images vivid and full of action and emotion.

If you missed any ask yourself why. Did you know your file? Was
your action vivid enough? Probably not. You will find that if you miss
items it will be because your action and emotion isn’t vivid enough.
You didn’t actually see it. You simply thought it and didn’t see it.
Remember at the start of this book we said you will remember faces
and not names because you saw the face but you never saw the name.
The same remains true here. If you are simply saying the picture but
not really doing your best to imagine it then you won’t remember it.
I do want to be clear also. A friend recently asked me, ‘Ron, but I
have trouble seeing images. I can’t do this.’
YES YOU CAN!!!
Do you dream? Most likely yes. When you do are you seeing pic-
tures? Yes.
Have you ever day dreamed? Yes. When you do you are seeing pic-
tures.
The expectation isn’t that you see a clear, full color 3D image. I’m
not. It’s more of a hazy impression. So be sure that your expectations
are clear on what you are supposed to be ‘seeing’.
Let’s review:
1. Focus - Ask yourself, ‘What’s their name?’ As you walk to the
person.
2. File - Select an outstanding feature on their face
3. Image - Create an image for their name
4. Action - See that image on their file with action and emotion
5. Review - At the end of each day ask yourself, ‘Who did I meet
today?’
Why go through the trouble of remembering names?
Zig Ziglar said, ‘People don’t care how much you know until they
first know how much you care.’
Show people that you care by remembering their name. It builds
relationships and friendships.
